chapter 22

"No, you don't put the candle on, I'm going to do it one more time." Erika re-tied the candle and held it out for Ion to observe.

"Okay, this time it was clear to me" Ion began to tie the candle, to then extend it, Ion looked at Erika again to see her approval but she did not change her expression from the beginning until the end she had that same expression.

"Very slow, you are taller than me, you should last less than me" Erika said

"Ahhh, let's go with the others that's all for today" said Erika

"Come on," smiled Ion.

The 3 started to eat a stew that Ion made in the morning, Ion was so tired that as soon as he finished eating he went to sleep, leaving the 3 girls eating and enjoying the fire of the campfire.

"How's Ion doing with you?" Morgana asked

"It is really bad with the boat, regarding strategy it has improved, I think it would be better to teach him only the basics of nautical and tell him to concentrate on strategy"

"He has perfected his techniques with the spear, I think that if he manages to combine the strategy and his techniques, he may be able to reach Erika's 3 seconds" Neo commented while helping himself to a little more stew.

"Even so I don't feel benefited by this, I feel more like a teacher than a wife" Erika said tired

"You may not realize it, but Ion is doing this to get to know us more, specifically our passions, it is purely a coincidence that our passions served as training for him, if not, I think he would be training alone and making time for us"

"I understand anyway tomorrow we will leave France, it gives me a bad taste to be close to that priest, it seems exaggerated that someone who should represent good is so cruel" commented Erika.

"We will have to mobilize before dawn to surround the fortress without being detected, after reaching the Mediterranean Sea it will be a journey between rivers" Morgana said

France was not the best place to stay, the place is barely developing and the population is very sick, only the nobles and the king can pay the priest to receive medical treatment, when Ion saw the scene he really wanted to help but he can't do nothing, there are many people to attend to, and the only person who could help would be Morgana, who is rejected by all the people for being a representative of Lucifer, although the reality is that she is not a representative.

Ion, the times he went to Paris with Morgana, I really detested it and it felt like seeing the poor state of the city, seeing how they looked at Morgana with expressions of contempt and disgust made him feel sick, in addition to the fact that many drunk men came to say obscenities to them the three women really irritated him, but in the same way, despite how cruel they were, they didn't deserve to be suffering.
